TORY BURCH

Tory Burch is a luxury lifestyle brand based in the U.S., established in New York in 2004. It started with a single Manhattan boutique and an online store, and has since expanded into a worldwide enterprise with 400 retail locations spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Asia, and Australia. Additionally, the brand can be found in over 3,000 department and specialty stores around the globe. Tory Burch founded her company with a distinct mission: to create a global luxury label and a foundation dedicated to boosting the economic influence of women. The product line, developed at her studio in New York, encompasses ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, accessories, beauty items, and home goods. The Foundation was established in 2009 with the goal of offering female entrepreneurs in the United States access to funding, educational resources, and a support network. Tory has garnered numerous accolades and distinctions, such as the CFDA Accessory Designer of the Year, WWD Women’s Designer of the Year, Harper’s Bazaar’s Designer of the Year, the Parsons School of Design’s Table Award, the Wharton School’s Jay H. Baker Retailing Center’s Retail Excellence Award, the SCAD Étoile Award, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Sandra Taub Humanitarian Award, Forbes’s Most Powerful Women in the World, and Glamour’s Women of the Year. Her initial publication, Tory Burch In Color (Abrams, 2014), became a New York Times bestseller, and her creations have been showcased in the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
